The dress alternative: Floral pants

I didn't even realize it until I sat down to write this post, but I've moved almost entirely away from wearing prints. I don't really know why, there wasn't a specific moment when I said to myself, I am no longer going to wear prints, they just sort of slowly phased out of my wardrobe. And then I found these pants. They're fun, happy, lighthearted, and at the same time chic and sophisticated. I don't know what to call them, they're not quite culottes which I haven't been able to get on board with, but the drapey fit and slightly cropped length are comfy and flattering.

I initially tried them on with the matching blouse, which is also pretty, but it just felt a bit too much for me so I went for this ribbed knit tank instead and I love the combo. I also got these striped trousers to wear with the tank, for someone that basically lives in jeans it was kind of nice to find some non denim pants that are flattering and wearable. They don't feel too dressy or work-y, I know that's not a word but I think you get what I mean. And then there's these heels, I talked about my new affection for the kitten heel last week, and this pair is no exception. I could walk 500 miles, and I could walk 500 more, not really, but yeah they're that comfortable.
